A Good Scrub Down





Pinterest Idea:  Use This Handy Tool and Little Concoction to Clean Your Shower

A while back I pinned this idea on Pinterest because it just seemed to good, and easy, to be true.  We have all seen these brushes in the mop/sweeper/sponge aisle of any grocery store.  Here's what you do with it:

1.  Fill it halfway with vinegar
2.  Fill it halfway with Dawn liquid dishwashing soap
3.  Scrub your shower down while you are scrubbing yourself down
4.  Rinse (I highly recommend a handheld shower head for everyone...makes cleaning your tub a breeze!)

When I first tried this I didn't use Dawn because I didn't have any on hand.  Instead I used Kirkland brand dish soap from Costco.  It didn't come out of the sponge as well and didn't lather as well so I switched to Dawn and it has worked beautifully!  I love that the ingredients are mostly natural, no harsh chemical smell, and it's kind of fun to scrub the tile down.  I have even let my girls climb in when they are bored and give it a whirl...my 5 year old plays the role of Cinderella perfectly :)

I usually use it two or three times a week all over the tile and spot clean in between anywhere I see a little grime.  Another bonus is that the sponge end of this is replaceable so for a couple of bucks you can change it out when it gets worn or yucky.  As I said before, though, the handheld shower head is a must and whether you try this handy idea or not you should definitely invest in one if you haven't already...the world of cleaning bath tubs will be so much more enjoyable, if that's possible!
